Abstract

A method for extracting palladium includes: (1) mixing a palladium-containing material with nitric acid and an alkali metal ion-containing catalyst to obtain a mixed solution, heating the mixed solution, and removing a resulting residue to obtain a palladium-containing leaching liquor; and (2) subjecting the palladium-containing leaching liquor obtained in step (1) to separative extraction to obtain metallic palladium or at least one palladium-containing product, and reusing a residual solution for step (1) in a subsequent extraction. The alkali metal ion-containing catalyst of the present disclosure can leach palladium at a higher rate than that when pure nitric acid of the same concentration is used and does not volatilize, such that the recycling of a mother liquor can be realized. The method involves simple operations, has low production costs, greatly shortens the palladium extraction time, does not lead to secondary pollution, and meets the requirements of environmental protection.
